The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Twin Pushchair

Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The sleek and stylish pushchair can be expanded to twin in a single click. In twin mode the clever frame is a bit smaller, but allows for a shopping basket alongside each car seat, or it can take two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different ages.

The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a lying-flat environment and parent or world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to let you attach two cocoons together.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the most commonly used baby products is car seats, a twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for quite some time so it's important that it's easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it is lightweight, folds small and has excellent steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that rival brands sell separately, including a fleecey padded seat liner.

The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for twins or siblings with different ages since it's designed to accommodate 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands its width when you're using the thule double stroller seat, yet it remains a single footprint in mono mode, making it more maneuverable through narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.

In addition to the appearance and has plenty of extras, our testers found this model stood out due to its ease of use. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats so it's easy to pop them in and go. It's a little long when in double mode, but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.

Convenient storage

If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a handy and easily accessible storage area can help you keep things organised. Pick a model that has a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. A handy cup holder and snack tray is also an excellent option, since it saves you reaching behind your children to grab drinks and snacks when they begin to feel hungry or thirsty.

Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in front of the other, are perfect for siblings of varying ages but may be a bit more difficult to maneuver through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the most suitable tandem alternatives for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double pram buggy mode (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). It's got plenty of storage space even in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold a large shopping cart. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from the rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your baby.

Baby is a comfortable fit for both

The best twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to keep both children comfortable during strolls. Be sure to look for padded seats with recline features, as well as adjustable bar for the calf. These will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.

It's also worth looking for twin prams with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double travel stroller buggies have two handlebars, but they can be difficult to control and could require you to use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats so you can alter them as your babies develop. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different ages, as it offers two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has an infant carrycot that faces the parent.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby Vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children. It has a super-slim frame that allows it to be used in double running stroller mode, and it can be folded compactly for transport.

Tandem buggies offer more sleek appearance than side-byside models and are a good option for twins. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full angle for babies, while the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted to a single pushchair simply by removing the front seat. They can be difficult to attach to public transport and may not be as stable as a single pushchair going between kerbs.

Some models fold into smaller sizes than others. This is essential if your home storage space is small. The egg2 is a chic option that can be used as a double or single and offers a variety of carrycots and infant car seat configurations so you can adapt to your twins' needs as they grow. It's also available in a range of colors and features a modern and stylish design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a excellent condition for the years to come. This will help prevent issues like fabric stains, odours, and mould growth. It can also extend the life of your pushchair.

Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to get rid of crumbs, dirt and grime from all areas. This will let you reach into every crevice, seams and fabric components such as the seat, canopy, and basket.

After vacuuming, take off the fabric seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them in a gentle cycle using a mild detergent for babies. Make sure all parts are dry prior to reassembling them to prevent corrosion or water damage.

Non-fabric components, such as the wheels, hinges and the folding parts of your twin pushchair should be regularly cleaned using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or hardened smells. If necessary, use a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacture to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to repair them as soon as possible to reduce the risk of further problems.
